Hey all,

Looking at a cell plan deal through the construction association, but it's through Rogers.

I've been on Bell for quite sometime now, and have heard some disconcerting things about Rogers coverage. We're usually around the Edmonton area, but with business and sledding we can be in all corners of Alberta (pincher creek, Hanna GP, Ft Mac, etc...), and into the BC interior (Mcbride, Valemount, Revy, Kelowna, Vancouver etc...)

Is any one currently with Rogers that can vouch for their coverage, or should I suck it up and stay with Bell?

I had both for work and just cancelled my Rogers this afternoon as their business side is an absolute joke when it comes to billing and dealing with them... I've been with bell for 12 years, they all suck, Its about how much BS you are willing to tolerate..

No Rogers coverage in the cold lake area either. Or at least they didn't a year or two ago.

I travel all over Canada and the US, Telus still has the best roaming coverage of them all. I've talked to other guys with Rogers and Bell, they are constantly dropping calls and no coverage. Telus service sucks in the states since they have a pi$$ing match going on with Verizon when they stopped them from coming into Canada wanting to offer us all affordable and reasonable cell phone rates. Now Verizon won't let any Telus customers use their towers, it's not too bad there when I lock my phone onto AT&T. It can be a pain to deal with Telus, I've been with them since they started and finally got unlimited long distance and texting North America wide, 2.5G of data in Canada for $100, but not without a lot of bitching!!
